Now that I have a little money lying around, I've made a few small political contributions ($250 to the RNC during the Presidential campaign, $350 to Governor McDonnell and $50 to Scott Brown). For my trouble, I have been absolutely BOMBARDED with junk mail from the RNC and various officeholders who all want more money. My favorite was a letter from an incumbent Senator from Louisiana -you know, the one who loves to visit prostitutes. I think Republican-related junk constitutes at least 25% of all my mail.
What I really could do without is when the RNC disguises its junk mail as official correspondence to get you to open it instead of just throwing it away. More than once, they have sent mail labeled "Official Census Correspondence". And then tonight, I get a letter with a return address of "Office of Control and Audit". After a second of thinking "oh, shit, I'm being audited", luckily I recognized the address as the RNC's address on First Street SE, and was able to follow my usual practice of throwing the letter away without opening it. There's got to be some kind of law against dressing your junk mail up as official correspondence.
I don't know why anyone would give money to the RNC, anyway. (The only reason I did so in 2008 was because, at the time I made my contribution, the McCain campaign was legally barred from accepting any more money directly). I follow politics closely enough that I know which candidates need my money the most, and with the Internet I can donate to them directly. Or, I could give my money to the guy who wanted to name his official GOP blog "What Up".
many blog keep posting some not good ideas just to have blog, but your site is different it can help the readers to be idealistic and learn new things.
